Not So Off The Shoulder

14 September, 2016

As I've mentioned it before, bare shoulders have been one of my favorite trends this year. Being the potato that I am when it comes to fashion, I keep my eye on what seems easy to style and doesn't need much added help, such as this top.

Last Saturday I had a friend's birthday celebration that went from a day to night event. To be honest, I didn't consider that, specially because I mostly go for black and white. However, I realized that this outfit worked perfectly for both occasions, the only difference was taking off the hat and putting on a bold lipstick at night. I got this top from SheIn and I wanted to wear it immediately. The sleeves are a lot looser than a normal off the shoulder top and that makes it very flowy. I love the lace detail that it has on the neck, I feel like it adds more decor to it without disturbing its simplicity. I paired up the top with these shorts that I got on a Zara summer sale a few months ago, they're so comfy and slightly high waisted, which came in quite handy because the top is a little short.

The day event was at a garden so I was sure I didn't want to wear heels but neither flat shoes. I opted for these sandal platforms that I got about two years ago at Bershka, they used to be my ride or die and totally forgot about them after a couple of months. I was doing a wardrobe clean up when I found them again, but unfortunately we only have a few more weeks of hot weather so I better wear them every single day until then.
